Pros

A steady paycheck in the current economy. Tight knit group to work with in a decent environment. Flexible with vacation schedules.

Cons

Lack of respect for long term employees. Being laid off after almost ten years of service by someone who came in and impersonally broke the news rather than direct management.

United States operations have experienced financial challenges in the past 4 to 5 years. DHL has downsized it;s United States operations to focus on their core business of international shipping.

Pros

I enjoy working at DHL it has allowed my to travel and meet new people. DHL is not shy about sending employees to different parts of the world for meetings and training.

Cons

Long hours during peak season October through early January. With the economic slowdown it seems that there is less and less growth opportunities.
